Vegetarian Star

The world’s first discovered vegetarian spider, Bagheera kiplingi, who we’ll call B.K., has been making headlines for bypassing the bug deli and heading straight for the leaf salad bar.

“This is really the first spider known to specifically ‘hunt’ plants; it is also the first known to go after plants as a primary food source,” said study researcher Christopher Meehan of Villanova University in Pennsylvania.

But before we get too excited, it should be noted that B.K. “cheats” from time to time.

Although its primary diet is plants, the Central American spider will occasionally eat ant larvae.

Meet Mr. Bumble.

Sir Bumble hails from the UK and was put on a vegetarian diet after his former owners gave him to the Royal Society For The Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA).

Apparently, bacon is what caused Mr. Bumble to lose his sexy figure.

Mr. Bumble, who’s currently the Hot Slut of the Day,  is now residing in Tropiquaria animal park near Watchet, Somerset, according to BBC reports, and park owner Chris Noisier said: “We’re now working on dieting him down to what he should be and clearly bacon butties are not a normal part of a skunk’s diet in the wild.”

Skunks are omnivores, but usually stick to bugs and frogs in addition to berries, plants, and fruit.

Mr. Bumble weighs in at 14 pounds and needs to lose 5 or 6.

“We’re putting him on the vegetarian option at the moment. It’s very much like a human weight-watching issue,” Noisier said.

When Mr. Bumble slims, will he become the next pro vegetarian model for a certain animal rights groups that will probably ask him to take his clothes off as well?

One thing’s for sure, he’s definitely an anti-fur activist.

Awhile back, Moby wondered if zombies would eat vegans, after one was captured escaping a car.

Now, we know the answer, thanks to cartoonist Dan Piraro.

Zombies are vegans.

Dan tweeted this lovely little Haiku poem that explains zombies go for the grains.

The vegan zombie

Cares not for sweet grey matter

They cry out for “grains.”"

Always nice to get things resolved.

Warning: This post gets somewhat graphic. But it’s also hilarious.

In a chat with Jake Gyllenhaal for Interview magazine, vegetarian Natalie Portman revealed she liked listening to dirty hip hop music.

“Really, really obscene hip-hop. I love it so much. It makes me laugh and then it makes me want to dance. Those are like my two favorite things, so combined … I’ve been listening a lot lately to ‘Wait (The Whisper Song)’ by the Ying Yang Twins, where the lyrics are like, ‘Wait ’til you see my dick’—which is just amazing because it’s whispered. [whispers] ‘Wait ’til you see my dick … ’ [laughs] Crazy. So I just listen to it like I’m a five-year-old, like, ‘Oh my god! I can’t believe he just said that!’”

Ghostface Killah of Wu Tang Clan, also a vegetarian heard of this and now is certain he and Natalie should make music together!

“When I read that, it was, like, ‘Oh, [bleep], she would love the [bleep] I got right here on this album!’ It was wild, ‘cause I remember her as the little girl in The Professional, and now she’s all about the wild [bleep].” Killah adds, “Yo, if you see her, give her my number. Tell her we gotta make some music together.”

A collaboration like this could get interesting.

At least the two will able to agree on snack food in the studio.

F to the R to the E to the A to the K! Stacy Haiduk decided to make a fashion statement at the recent Daytime Emmy Awards by wearing her cat. Yes, this is a real cat. Dead. And stuffed. Mr. Kitty was Stacy’s co-star on The Young and the Restless for several months. Is this why soap opera audiences are dwindling? Mr. Kitty was someone’s living pet, and now has the pleasure of being immortalized thanks to a taxidermist.

Stacy was quoted in the New York Post as saying:

“It was for the fans. I feel that this cat was somebody’s lovely, beloved animal. They loved him so much they had him preserved, and I thought since Mr. Kitty has had such success on the show, he deserved to be at the Emmys.”

Since Stacy was talking about how much Mr. Kitty was loved, it would have been a great opportunity to talk about animal charities that love cats, like Ally Cat Allies, which aims to reduce the number of cats killed in shelters by providing education and awareness of spay and neuter services, feral cat care, and other services to improve the lives of cats.

Tribute or terrible?

Cat worshipper or Crazy Cat Lady?

What do you think?
